Angola vs Argentina: Prediction for the Match on November 14, 2025

Angola: Form and Statistics

Form: DDWLL

Angola enters this match after a lackluster showing in the FIFA World Cup African qualifiers. Their hopes of reaching the World Cup final for just the second time in history went up in smoke after finishing in fourth place in Group D. The last time they appeared on the global stage was in 2006, when they failed to advance beyond the group stages.

The Black Sable Antelopes' progress was severely hurt by drawing too many games (6). They were the only team that had the most draws in the competition. Togo, South Sudan, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe came close to matching them (5).

Their last match on the international stage saw them earn a well-deserved point playing to a goalless draw against 2017 African Cup of Nations champions Cameroon. It was in the qualifiers, and that result made it three matches unbeaten in the competition.

Angola: Team News

Angola has no injury concerns heading into this clash. Head coach Pedro Goncalves won't experiment in this clash, as he will field his best starting lineup. We could see a similar lineup to the side that held Cameroon to a draw.

Chico Banza, who has made seven appearances for the senior national team, will lead the attack this Friday in a 4-3-3 formation. He has yet to score a goal for his nation and will hope to do so against the South American giants.

The backline will consist of Kialonda Gaspar and David Carmo and up the field, Fredy is going to occupy the central midfield position, while Beni and Maestro are expected to provide support.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Marques; Clinton Mata, Carmo, Gaspar, To Carneiro; Maestro, Fredy, Beni; Luvumbo, Banza, Mabululu.

⛔️ Out: None.

👤 Head coach: Pedro Goncalves.

The 2022 World Champions, Argentina, on the other hand, had a terrific run in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - CONMEBOL. The South American giants finished at the top of the table with a nine-point cushion. 

Another crucial detail that's worth mentioning is that they became the first team on their continent to qualify for the 2026 World Cup back in March. However, their last qualifier match ended in a 1-0 away defeat against Ecuador.

Lionel Messi and company have made some necessary preparations ahead of the upcoming global tournament by competing in two international friendlies. As one would expect from a powerhouse in South American football, they won both matches and outscored their opponents 7-0. Their last outing was a 6-0 routing of Puerto Rico on October 15th.

Six familiar faces will not be available for the clash against Angola. The Atletico Madrid trio, consisting of Giuliano Simeone, Julian Alvarez, and Nahuel Molina, will not be available after failing to comply with Angola's health procedure - the vaccination against Yellow fever. 

First-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez won't be available for this clash as he has been rested, meaning Marseille's Geronimo Rulli will start in goal. Enzo Fernandez and Franco Mastantuono won't be available for the upcoming encounter due to injuries. They are recovering from knee and groin injuries, respectively. 

Kevin Mac Allister has received his first call-up to the senior national team. Three other uncapped players include Maximo Perrone, Nicolas Paz, and Joaquin Panichelli. A surprise addition to the squad by head coach Lionel Scaloni is Aston Villa's Emiliano Buendia, who has been recalled after a three-year absence.

Angola vs Argentina match prediction 14 November 2025

This is a high-stakes clash, and Angola is very much aware of that. With that in mind, they also know that their chances of success in this one are slim, but a spirited performance can be expected from them in this one.

Argentina is undeniably a superior team in this fixture. They boast world class talent within their ranks, and I believe they can win this one in commanding style. Their recent friendly clash saw them score six goals against Puerto Rico. I'm not expecting a similar trend, but this is to highlight that they are capable of scoring three goals in the upcoming encounter.
